@doug_oberbeck There’s 15, record is 26, not sure I’d do that currently though!

@grow_with_paul Don't even think I had a cell phone in 2005 🤣

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

Blast from the past, during my competitive CrossFit days, must have been 2015 with that video quality.

Need to get back on the rings to see if I’ve still got it 💪

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

Sun maxing 🌞, with some Bulgarian Split Squats thrown in for good measure. Can’t sit around the pool without a leg pump now can we 🦵🇹🇭

@grow_with_paul Thanks!

@b66ny But the fear $

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

Decided to take the tyre for a walk, it was sitting stagnant for far too long.

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

3 minutes rest between working sets is favorable.

But say your squatting, you've rested 3 minutes and your quads are good to go.

But your lower back hasn't recovered, it still has lactic acid & is cramping.

You're going to need more than 3 minutes before your next set.

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

Dips are a stable exercise for me either when weight training or doing functional fitness.

Make sure you can do 10 solid reps, none of these half chicken reps, then start to add weight, rinse and repeat.

I like to call dips the upper body's version of back squats.

@bigbuck69hunt @bryk_squuaadd He is a very knowledgeable individual Kevin, I follow him myself and his coaching speaks for itself with your results, keep up the good work man, inspiring to see your progress 🤝

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

Your body is profoundly good at resisting weight loss, it's been engineered over millions of years to seek out tasty food.

If you're on a cutting phase for a certain amount of weeks, I recommend no cheat meals at all.

You'll set yourself up for guaranteed success this way.

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

@bigbuck69hunt Your progress is insane since I last logged in brother, all that hard work is paying off 💪

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

If your in a commercial gym & your hogging equipment & not letting other gym users jump in between sets, you've got zero gym etiquette & you're not taking adequate rest periods between working sets. Your workout isn't that important, remember guys, sharing is caring.

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

I still don't think there is an unnilateral leg exercise that trumps Bulgarian Split Squats 🔥

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

Bulgarian split squats, got to be up there with one of the most effective, yet disgusting leg exercises going.

You can't build strong legs without incorporating single leg movements.

If you're not programming these into your leg days you're leaving gains on the table.

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

It's a myth that it's essential to eat animal organs to get optimum protein intake.

Take Liver for example, it's not a magical pill, you can eat any other part of the animal (within reason) and as long as your getting your protein intake you're golden.

Plus it tastes like s**t.

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

Have you got a go to workout when you're strapped for time or equipment, and if not, why not?

Mine is Cindy, simple, effective and all you need is a pull up bar and a stop watch.

AMRAP 20
5 pull ups
10 press ups
15 air squats

Weighted vest is optional!

Get to work!

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

@Jason77706 Good morning!

[Thomas Foster @TAG_Foster]

@Inkintheskin It's good to be back mate 🤝
